 Features
Simple Installation Compact and small footprint design of modular chillers
minimizes the space needed for installation. The modular
design reduces the cost of transportation and allows
expansion of capacity when the needs arise in future, thus,
reduce the initial investment.

Intelligent Control The modular chiller comes with intelligence control. The
System multi-module balances the run time of the compressors. It
controls the operating hours of each compressor to
maximize the compressor life span.

Safety Protection The modular chillers have built in protections for all sub-
system, i.e. refrigerant system, electrical system and water
system. Various overload protection devices, phase
protector, temperature sensor, pressure switch, flow
switch, etc., have been installed to protect the system if it
experiences any failure of components or abnormal
external factors. With these safety measures, the system is
able to deliver high performance and at the same time
ensure safe operation at all time.

Easy Maintenance Wired LCD controller equipped with various operating

mode, timer setting, temperatures display and self-
diagnosis by error code. Through the precise and intelligent
control algorithm, the load will be distributed evenly to all
the modular chillers, thus greatly reduce the
commissioning and troubleshooting time and prolong the
service life of the compressors.

Flexibility & Various combinations of modular chillers provide great

Energy Saving flexibility of matching the exact load demand of
applications. Up to 8 units of modular chillers can be
combined to provide the necessary capacity and allow
future expansion through easy add-on features. Besides,
the modular system is able to adhere to different load
profile precisely and deliver highest performance at all load
condition.

Zero ODP Air cooled modular chillers with R410A refrigerant and
microchannel condenser strike a perfect match in
delivering high efficient products. Furthermore, the
equipment are manufactured in as ISO14000 certified
facility which complies to international standard for
environmental management.

 Installation
1) Chiller Mounting

The chiller must be placed on a rigid and solid surface, e.g. concrete floor, metal
bracket with absorber.

FAMC201 module

In
Out

≥ 400
200

FAMC201

2) Location of Installation:

a) The location of installation should be well ventilated and not exposed to

direct sunlight and rain

b) Ensure the discharge of air and noise generated during operation does not
disturb neighbors (at least 10 meters always from residential area).

c) Always allow minimum clearance space for the outdoor unit as shown in the
diagram.

Maintenance

Page 24
3) Transportation
To move or lift the unit, attach ropes to the hoisting hangers (4 pieces)
available on the edge of the unit. Apply protector or support to avoid the
ropes direct contact with coil and panel as shown in the diagram.

4) Water Piping
a) Air vent must be installed at the highest position. Open the air vent to
release the air trapped in the water system.
b) It is recommended to install water tank to lower the frequency of
compressor loading and unloading during low load condition. Ensure the
water volume in the system does not less than 10L/kw (water
volume/load).

Page 25
 c) Install an expansion tank at the highest position as shown in the diagram.
The capacity of the expansion tank is 0.03~0.034 of the water volume.
d) Install 60 mesh Strainer to ensure the water quality is good.
e) Ensure the flow switch is installed and function properly.
f) Ensure all water pipes are well insulated
g) Fill up water after water piping work complete. Check the water leakage at
connections and joints.

5) Entering and leaving water temperature sensor installation

a) Loading and unloading of the compressor is controlled by master unit
based on leaving and entering water temperature.
b) The entering and leaving water temperature sensor are connecting to the
TH7 and TH8 of the master unit. The standard wire length for both sensors
is 4 meters.
c) Insert the sensor coil bracket and sensor into the water return and water
supply pipe as shown in the diagram:

Page 26
6) Water System Installation
Water pipe installation should comply with local codes and regulations. To save cost and
to ensure good unit performance, reduce the usage of U-bends and vertical piping.
Please refer to the following diagram and instructions for proper piping installation

a) Gate valve, pressure gauge and thermometer should be installed at visible and
accessible location.
b) Air vents at the highest points of water system to release the air trapped in the
water system. A gate valve must be installed at the lowest point of water piping
system to drain off the water when necessary.
c) It is recommended to install water tank to lower the frequency of compressor
loading and unloading during low load condition. Ensure the water volume in the
system does not less than 10L/kw (water volume/load).
d) Install an expansion tank at the highest position as shown in the diagram. The
capacity of the expansion tank is 0.03~0.034 of the water volume.
e) Install 40 mesh cleanable strainers at water inlet and before water pump to
ensure the water quality is good.
f) Ensure the flow switch is installed and function properly.
g) Ensure all water pipes are well insulated.
h) Fill up water after water piping work complete. Check the water leakage at
connections and joints.
i) The pipe size for each module are:

Cooling Capacity (Tons) 20-30 30-40 50

Pipe diameter,DN (mm) 65 80 100

j) The pipe size of the chilled water supply and return are:

Cooling Capacity (Tons) 20-30 40-60 80-160 160-240 240-500 500-800

Pipe diameter,DN (mm) 65 80 125 150 200 250

k) Under the same flow rate, the diameter of water piping will affect the amount of
pressure drop for the water piping system. In order to reduce load to the pump,
bigger diameter of water pipe is preferred whenever it is possible. Listed in the
following table is the guideline for flow speed to maintain for different section of
piping

Recommended flow velocity in pipe

Position Pump exit Pump entry Main pipe Vertical pipe Branch pipe
Velocity, m/s 2.4~3.6 1.2~2.1 1.2~4.5 0.9~3.0 1.5~2.1

Page 27
Electrical Installation

Electrical installation should be done according to the local codes and regulations. Unit
should be installed by qualified personnel. Voltage tolerance should be kept at rated
voltage ±10%. Phase imbalance must not be greater than 2%. Communication bus
between control modules and wired controllers shall use no less than 0.25mm2 Shielded
Twisted Pair cable size. Do not install data cable alongside the power cable, contactors,
circuit breakers, inverters and etc. to avoid electromagnetic interference. Cable
connections must be done using end connectors.

 Servicing and Maintenance
1. Check the water quality regularly. The strainer must be cleaned to prevent
water system choke.
2. The location of the installation should be clean and well ventilated. Clean the
condenser heat exchanger regularly 9 every 1~2 months).
3. Check the make up water supply and pressure relief valve frequently to ensure
it is in good condition.
4. Ensure the electrical components and wiring are connected properly and firm.
5. If the unit is not operating for a long period, the water must be drained out and
cut off the power supply. Use a sheath to cover the unit.
6. To restart the unit after long period not operating, fill in clean water, and check
properly. Let the unit warms up 6 hours before switch on the unit to ensure the
unit is in good condition.
7. Check the working pressure regularly to ensure no gas is leaking. When gas
leak occurs, adding new refrigerant into system must be done by service
personnel. For R410A refrigerant, do not add new refrigerant to the system.
Please vacuum the system thoroughly before recharging the R410A in liquid
phase.
8. It is recommended that heat exchanger should be cleaned at least once within
a year. Close monitoring is required if the water quality is bad.
a) It is recommended clean the heat exchanger by using acid cleaning
agents like phosphoric acid (5% concentration).
b) The solution flow rate should be 1.5 higher than the water flow rate.
Counter flow will clean the heat exchanger effectively.

Heat Acid

agents

c) After cleaning process complete, flush lot of clean water to remove the
excess acid.

Page 29
Refrigerant R410A

a) R410A is a zeotropic refrigerant mixture, the R410A liquid and vapor have
different chemical composition when evaporates and condenses.
b) When leaks occur, do not add new refrigerant to the system. Please vacuum
the system thoroughly before recharging the R410A.
c) The figures show the cylinder position for proper charging process. The
compressor oil for R410A is different with R22 compressor. If additional
compressor oil is required, kindly contact to local dealer or service personnel.
